Twenty-second day -- Swiss Brown mushroom and egg, sliced bread and Potatoes Mushroom soup

It was 6:16am. The vibrating and beeping watch woke me up. I stretched and twisted about to warm up before stepping into the bathroom. I tested my blood pressure, it read 106/64 (systolic/diastolic) and the pulse rate was 74 bpm. I noticed the hospital measured me frequently, every three hours in the night and after my breakfast. So I ordered one online before I was discharged. I bought the Sinocare from Lazada. It would give me a figure slightly lower than that measured in the hospital. The RoHs watch also measured my blood pressure but the figures were at least 20 higher, so I would not take it seriously. At eleven I measured again, it was 93/60 and pulse rate 75. 

I did about 3500 steps with a slow pace and wearing the XOSS, checking often the heart rate with the mobile apps Nike Run Club. It hovered around 80-95 bpm. I ended the exercise with BaDuanJin. The stretching was good and I could feel the warmth streaming from my arms and legs. 

I realized that the pill cause some constriction of the stomach, so I figured a fuller breakfast would be good. I had Swiss Brown mushroom fried with an egg, potatoes soup, and three slices of white bread. 




Lunch was Swiss Brown Mushroom, carrot, and bean sprouts. I cooked the thinly sliced carrot with some ginger and salt until it was soft before adding the mushroom. More water oozed out from the mushroom as it reduced in size. Then I set the fire to the highest and pour in the bean sprout, add a spoon of light soya sauce, continuously fried it until I could smell fragrant of the bean sprout. 

After dinner at about 9:30pm, my blood pressure was 110/67, and my pulse was 69. It would seem normal.

Thirty Eight -- A break from the routine

Image
I had decided that Sunday to be dedicated to my other pleasure, photography. The routine of everyday can take a rest. I went out early to photograph birds and nature. Bishan Park, my favourite site, was looking warm and welcoming. Already many people were there, some running, some cycling, some walking and a few photographing with heavy, huge, camouflaged lens. I admired their strength and endurance to haul the weight and held them up to chase after that split moment. The lens and camera are expensive too. I used a bridge camera that is light in weight and my pocket. I hardly felt the prickling during bird hunting, perhaps I was too engrossed, or it was really so. I took all my meal at home and shuttled to the garden again after my breakfast and lunch. It was amazing to watch the bird going by their beings. Finally after two months, I was back to my routine, photographing. Birds are always alert, conscious of their environment and ever ready to take the flight of fright. I had learned ...

Twenty-Third day — reading cursive writing

Image
We went out for morning exercise at 7am. I walked at a slower pace, did about 3500 steps, then wind down with BaDuanJin. There were still some prickling at the tongue while I was walking. Q We saw the Flamed Back Woodpecker, hopping and scanning the bark of the tree trunk. Beautifully lighted in the golden light. She photographed, while I continued my walk. There were many kind park users who love to collect the crust of bread and spread them on selected grass patch, disregarding the no-feeding sign or the regulation. Previously I ever saw a beautiful yellow Oriole choked on the piece of bread. The Myna and the pigeon, mostly the black and grey bird know how to break it down before swallowing them. A proliferation of Myna and Pigeon can impact on the population of other birds population that are necessary for an ecologically balanced nature. Beauty is perhaps the only possible measure of that balance.  I always believe in sharing food with birds or animals but not the wrong kind of...
